The policy aims to promote "health and wellness" among students and employees. The ban prohibits the use of "tobacco of any kind," including cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco, on campus. It extends to personnel vehicles -- so no smoking in your car -- while they are on college property.

This week, workers have been removing signs for designated smoking areas to ready for a "tobacco free collge." The smoking areas were created in 2006 when the college banned smoking except in those certain spotse designated areas.
